USS Venture

USS Venture Starter CV


CPU T2 (Vanilla) / Core 1 (RE), Level 10 (RE) / 12, Vanilla & Reforged Eden

Intention: Starter CV, Exploration, Scout, Affordable, Autominer Service, Multiplayer

PLEASE NOTE: For Vanilla, you have to install the CPU Extender T2 first bevor power up the vehicle! Since it is not necessary for the Reforged Eden Scenario, I left it out on purpose.
The numbers are for the vanilla version.

The Venture is you elegant yet affordable starter CV. You can see it as a design merge of the Romulan Warbird and larger federation shuttle crafts.
It provides ample space for your cargo, and the garage / small hangar can hold a couple of small HV's you want to take with you e.g. a harvester or the story HV.
Given its form factor, the top of the ship serves as a decent landing pad for your SV's.

320 kSU of cargo space and a 320 kSU ammo bay make sure you can bring with you everything you desire from your first base to start your adventure. Three cargo boxes allow you to organise special cargo and items.
There is some space left on board to use for upgrades, dedicated spots for an additional generator as well as the repair station are marked.
The Venture comes with a complete medical bay, but without a shield, to keep the initial cost at bay.
However, there is enough CPU points left in vanilla to install up to a T2 shield and a T2 warp drive.
The ship can house a small farm of 9 plots. Dedicated spots for cannons are marked with the placeholder antennas, however you can fit way more than that.
The ship comes with two minigun turrets and three sentrys. There is space for plenty more turrets, dedicated space (only suggestions) on the wings inner side are marked. The aim here is to make use of the space created by the wing design.

Upgrade the thrust by installing additional thrusters along the preinstalled ones, marked by the grid textures, or by replacing them with the next tier (e.g. plasma in RE). The forward and reverse thruster blocks of medium thrusters can be replaced with the larger 2 x 2 x 4 jet, however.
There is space to install the complete array of CPU extenders, when needed.
As I am very unhappy how spotlights (almost always foggy) work in vanilla, I purposely left that out. There are some good spots to install them, however.
